2009 Race Updates
- The 2009 Summit Challenge has been postponed until 2010. Nick and I have been too busy getting the new store setup and we just haven't had a chance to get the event organized this year. We apologize for this and hope to see all the regulars out next year.
Date/Time
Sunday, February 15th, 2009 (CANCELLED)
- 4th Annual Summit Challenge (9:00am start)
About The Race
The 3rd annual Bear Mountain Resort Summit Challenge is Victoria's only uphill running race. The run starts at the base of Bear Mountain Parkway and winds its way up to Nicklaus Drive where it makes its final ascent to the summit. With panoramic ocean, mountain, and city views you won't even notice how hard your heart is pounding! Participants will drive to Bear Mountain Resort, park their vehicles and board a shuttle that will transport everyone back down the hill to the race start. The Mountainside Athletic Club is our host for the day and will provide food, beverages and draw prizes. Following the event, the staff of the Mountainside Athletic Club invite you to enjoy the facility's amenities which include a heated outdoor salt water pool, hot tub, sauna, plus ladies only and coed gyms.
